When you think of it, the best present to give loved ones this holiday is just being present.
Brownies on Monday, piano on Tuesday, Jazz Ballet on Wednesday…and those are just Little One’s activities! I find myself rushing all over the place and always pressed for time. Between work, and farm, and family, it’s often hard to just stop to take a breather.
Our lives are busy. We’re constantly on our devices. We rely on our smart phones, tablets and computers to keep us connected to work, school, friends, family and life. The holiday season has everyone rushing to the stores in search of the perfect present for loved ones.
However, the best present isn’t the latest gadget or toy. It’s not even the newest kitchen appliance or pair of dressy boots. The best present isn’t a new outfit or tickets to a show. The best present of all is BEING present.
Get into Holiday Mode
TELUS realizes that being present is the best present one can give loved ones.
At a time of the year when people are bombarded with what to buy or what gifts are the gifts of the season, TELUS wants to do something different. Instead, they want to encourage you, and all Canadians, to actually put your technology away and focus on spending quality time with those that matter most to you.

TELUS is passionate about bringing Canadians together over the holidays. While TELUS is always looking at ways to give our customers awesome service all year long, they also recognize that sometimes, the best present is being present with those who matter most. As always, TELUS is passionate about showing Canadians that they can expect more from from them. This is another just way to demonstrate that passion through action.
I will definitely be getting into Holiday Mode this season. Id like to encourage you to do the same! You can pick up your own tools to get into Holiday Mode at telus.com/expectmore. If you’d like to share and join the conversation on social, we’ll be using the #ExpectMore and #TeamTELUS hashtags!

I really love how we can Expect More from TELUS!
You know how much I love social, so I won’t be totally disconnected! I’ll just be on there a bit less this Christmas so I can spend quality time with my loved ones.
After all, time is precious! Make it count!
In the meantime, how about chilling in front of the TELUS fireplace with your favourite people and a cup of hot cocoa?
Wishing you all a very Happy Holiday! Will you be getting into Holiday Mode too?

Telus has inspired me to shut down. I am officially in holiday mode tomorrow
It’s great that Telus is putting such focus on the importance of connecting with loved ones and truly being present to enjoy each other! 🙂 spread the love!
Last night I spent time at my son’s Christmas Concert. This morning I decorated gingerbread houses with him at his school. Connecting and spending quality time with my kids is so important and it feels really good! 🙂
